Kurt G???del was not just a brilliant logician but contributed also important results to the general theory of relativity. In the 1940s he found a solution to Einstein's field equations which (roughly speaking) allows for time-travel, i.e. compromises our very notion of time. This book brings together the contributions to the Kurt G???del essay competition on the question: "What does it mean for our world view if, according to G???del, we also assume the non-existence of time?"

Kurt G???del was not just a brilliant logician but contributed also important results to the general theory of relativity. In the 1940s he found a solution to Einstein's field equations which (roughly speaking) allows for time-travel, i.e. compromises our very notion of time. This book brings together the contributions to the Kurt G???del essay competition on the question: "What does it mean for our world view if, according to G???del, we also assume the non-existence of time?" Kurt G???del war nicht nur ein brillanter Logiker, sondern trug auch wichtige Ergebnisse zur allgemeinen Relativit???tstheorie bei. In den 1940er Jahren fand er eine L???sung f???r die Einsteinschen Feldgleichungen, die (grob gesagt) Zeitreisen erm???glicht, d.h. unsere Vorstellung von Zeit in Frage stellt. Dieses Buch versammelt die Beitr???ge zum Kurt-G???del-Aufsatzwettbewerb zu der Frage: "Was bedeutet es f???r unser Weltbild, wenn wir mit G???del die Nichtexistenz der Zeit annehmen?"
